Haworth Art Gallery – A Place of Beauty THE Haworth, Accrington, is not just a fabulous Art Gallery but it is a most beautiful park as well!
Now that summer is coming our rose garden will be a mass of stunning roses, all of which are highly perfumed and is well worth a visit for itself.
This rose garden was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Lancashire Environmental Fund with all the roses sponsored by local people, schools and businesses. The project was led by Baxenden Community Forum who continues to help maintain it alongside Haworth Park gardener Trevor Dean. Trevor also looks after our abundant Rhododendrons, Azaleas and flowerbeds, creating the perfect backdrop for wedding photographs. To see a selection of photos of the park please go onto our Facebook page: facebook.com/ haworthart GalleryAccrington
